This is a great idea but why not point two hubble telescopes one 1/4 year ahead and one 1/4 behind earth to view into space? That would make far more detailed "3D" perspective of the universe as we see (know) it. Or for budget purposes, one hubble 1/2 ahead of earth and one on earth.
Only bummer would be maintenance.. they'd have to do it properly this time..
The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
BBC News is reporting that the recent communications satellite launch in India has met with disaster. The air was tense and they were both on fire. *taddum-cheen*
My failed in school for the year and my father pulled away my monitor (the only spare part I or anyone else DIDN'T have). We had a nice talk (I called them idiots and whores) and so began the detox period of 3 months. I was promised to get the monitor back when I get a first positive grade. I did soon after school holidays but was detoxed so much I didnt use my PC for 2 months after that.
I had 3 different connections here in slovenia, ISDN, ADSL and VDSL. All had transfer rates of about 90-92% of their 8 bit=byte rate. That means: - ISDN had roughly 7.2kB/sec - ADSL and VDSL (both 1Mbit/sec) had around 116-118kB/sec transfer
The only party-killer were (are) the free internet providers that have their lines saturated 24/7. Their transfer rates are roughly 35-50% of the connection speed promised.
Here people take their computers to the shop for repair and can expect someone WILL walk thru it's data. Extra payment is required if you want your data to be preserved when you pickup your PC again (that is, if work on the PC is destructive).
I heard this story countless times: person brings PC into the shop, guys in the repair walk thru data, find sth juicy and off it goes into public.
Another interesting "lost data" collection was IBM's "repaired" disks. Here at work we had those 40GB HD's fail every 2-3 months and we got replacement drives that were "repaired". Buuut, running Easyrecovery on those drives revealed entire partitions full of data. Best catch was 10GB of mp3's + roughly 700MB of Metallica MP3's (sue me for backing them up). Quite odd really that IBM's service centre didnt low-level format those drives but just rewritten an empty FAT table over the whole thing..

Blah, blah. TSA is doing a real job at scaring passangers like that's gonna keep terrorist attacks down.
The terorists will just start behaving nicely.
Be aware, Li-Ion batteries dont tolerate heat very well - it really kills it's life span - without exploding..

Thanks, I'll be here until the end of the week.
It's fun to use the latest version, but you never know, when you'll be screwed by another gcc 2.95!
So, no thanks, I like doing my own dirty work.

Finally they invented predicting solar flares! Now I can finish my circular Star-Travel that goes in the future or past when solar flare occures!

I wont be lured into microsoft blog just because some geek-wannabe wants some publicity. Summarize it with one word.

.. now I'm a windows programmer.
is morse code patented and what baud rates can you achieve?
